I played Lakemont this morning on a Hot Deal on Golf Now so it was only $15. While I can't complain too much for playing 18 at this price, I am writing this review to those of you who might pay $40 to $60 for a round here as its normally listed on the weekend on Golf Now. DONT DO IT. 6/9 greens on the front are virtually unplayable. I don't know a thing about turf management or horticulture, but these greens have and infestation or disease that has caused them to all but die completely. They are hard and cracked all over the place with bare sand spots and bumps everywhere (not aeration). Not only are they impossible to putt on, approach shots would only stay if the rolled up onto the green. Its truly a shame and I would hope they would shut down the front nine of this course seeing as they have 18 more holes on the Atonement course and get this issue fixed asap. It is a beautiful course and setting and its a shame its in such horrible shape. I have always felt the upkeep of this course is below average as they have numerous areas of rocks and sand that are clearly in playable in bounds areas, but the condition of these greens takes it to a whole new level. So think twice before booking a round here this summer. And remember, its $15 extra to park in the Stone Mountain park on top of what you pay for your round....
